Am I Crazy?
I wasn't too sure why, but that story Rey told me about really stuck in my mind for most of that day. While we were out dress shopping, I found myself growing somewhat worried about my surroundings. Things only felt worse when I went into the dressing room alone and thought I heard someone whisper my name in my ear. The voice was deep yet real sexy in a way but when I turned around, there wasn't anyone there. I shook it off thinking that it was just a figment of my imagination, but then I heard it again.
"Hey Rey?" I yelled through the door.
"What?" he answered, sounding real far away.
I sighed, "Are you playing around with me right now?"
"What do you mean, I'm waiting on you to try on that dress Rachel." he said.
"Oh…ok then." I said as I took off my clothes and then slipped into the gold prom dress. It was slightly poofy with plenty of sparkles covering the torso area. It was very beautiful…I almost felt like a princess in it. I was about to walk out and show Rey when I heard something else.
"Very beautiful…."
I turned around but didn't see anyone so I high tailed it out of there. I kept looking back at the dressing room as I headed towards the area where Rey was sitting. He smiled upon seeing me along with some of the other girls who were shopping for their dresses.
"Wow sis, that one is gorgeous." he said.
I smiled, "Yea I like it too…apparently so does the ghost back there."
"What are you talking about?" he asked. "There is no such things as ghost silly."
"Then who in the hell was back there commenting on my dress? No one was back there but me Rey."
He looked at me like I was crazy, "Alright no more scary movies for you little lady. Anyways, does the dress fit?"
I nodded and spun around in it. "I love it."
"Good, I like it too." he said with a smile. "Now go take it off so we can head home."
I nodded and did as he said, lucky enough not to hear anymore strange noises back in the dressing room. Although, I did feel like someone was still there, watching me very closely. I kept thinking about it all through that day.
"Hey Rey, what was the name of the wrestler you described?" I asked when we were eating dinner.
"The Undertaker, why?" he asked, looking startled.
I shrugged, "Just curious. It's been awhile since the last time I seen a show and I can't seem to recall hearing his name before."
"When is the last time you watched it?" he asked.
I thought about it for a moment, "Um…I think three months ago."
"Oh yea…he was fired three months ago and was recently rehired. He's been after Vicky ever since."
I shook my head, "Why don't you guys just hand her over?"
He laughed, "Rachel! That's mean."
"She doesn't like me so why should I care?" I told him.
"Rachel she does like you."
I rolled my eyes, "Then why is she such a bitch to me?"
"Because you have one hell of an attitude and so does she…therefore you butt heads all the time." he said. "Anyways, where did this interest come from?"
I shrugged, "Well I was thinking, instead of a grad party, you should totally let me come to the show next month."
His eyes widened, "No way."
"Awe why Rey? You never take me to any shows and next month it will be right here in town." I said.
He sighed, "I don't know Rachel. If the Undertaker knew you were my sister, I think he'd get ideas."
"He doesn't have to know Rey. I mean I could sit in the crowd like a normal fan." I told him. "Will you at least think about it?"
He looked at me blankly and then softened his expression. "Alright I'll think about it. But if I say yes, you must promise not to draw attention to yourself that night. I don't want anything happening to you."
I smiled. "Ok big brother, no problem."
"Good. Now finish your dinner so you can go do your homework."
I smiled at him wondering what on Earth he was so scared of when it came to this guy. After dinner, I went upstairs and got on my laptop, deciding I would look up some you tube videos of this guy. The first video I watched was of him back when he first faced my brother. He was a big guy with short black hair and a blue bandana tied around his head. His eyes were green and made him very attractive to the eye. I then watched a few recent videos and saw how much he had changed. His hair was long and black, he wore black eyeliner around his eyes to make that green pop out more, and he dressed like a dark cowboy with a long black trench coat. Boy did his entrance alone scare me…in fact it scared me so much, I closed my laptop and then went to get in the shower.
When I came back to my room, I noticed that it was unusually cold in my room and slightly dimmer. I then saw that my laptop was open…and the screen was flashing. I stared at it for a moment until a pair white eyes popped up on the screen and then disappeared. My room then got a little brighter and less cold.
"What in the world…" I said before picking up my laptop and sitting it on my nightstand. I wasn't sure what in the hell that was about, but I figured Rey probably was playing tricks on me as he always did. I sighed and then began to get dressed. As I was sitting at my mirror brushing my hair, I glanced out of my window and saw that black hearse sitting outside of our gate. I didn't see anyone in it but it scared the hell out of me. I quickly got up and went downstairs to tell Rey.
"Rey! That hearse is outside again!" I yelled when I came into the living room.
Rey got up from the couch and looked out the window. He then looked back at me with a raised eyebrow. "What are you talking about?"
I walked over to the window and looked but there was no sign of the hearse. "It was just there a second ago…"
"I think you're getting tired Rachel. Go to bed ok?" he said before returning to the couch.
I looked back out the window once more, making sure it was gone before heading upstairs to my room. I was completely creeped out now and regretted looking up those videos.
